I am not sure which version it was either. I have NFS III but would get a later if need be. I am not into gaming, but grandson (12) would love to have it on my computer.

Thank you to everyone who responded to me. I finally purchased one from Walter Coe. (Sorry I lost track of email and ended up sending payment late.) :( I want to point out that I discovered as part of this that this part seems to have a HIGH FAILURE rate. This concerns me greatly. I examined both the LH and RH brackets. The LH bracket is of thinner metal than the RH one which may be why it breaks. They all may be breaking in the same place at first (near the middle hole where the metal is just 1/2" wide). One person mentioned that it might be caused by too much play in the rubber frame mount, and I found extra play in mine so replaced it. I am considering having a new stronger bracket fabricated (if it's not too expensive) since with the extra power I have I'm worried this new replacement will eventually break as well. CHECK YOUR MANUAL FRONT LH TRANSMISSION MOUNTS very carefully because there can easily be a small crack that is not easy to see! shiraz --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "shirazcupala" <shirazcupala@xxxx> wrote: > This weekend while fixing a rear CV boot I found a nasty problem. > My LH (driver's side) manual transmission bracket is in 3 pieces. > It's been welded at least a half-dozen times and is now unusable. > Unfortunately none of the vendors have this part.

I found a classic car material supplier in the UK and they supplied me with material with a foam backing that is almost an exact match for the original material. I then removed the original material and used these as templates for cutting new pieces. Removing the original foam was a bit of a job as its difficult not to damage the 'card' backing. But with a lot of time and the use of a little white spirit and an old toothbrush I managed to remove it all. It was then simply a case of glueing the new material in place. I was told by the people who supplied the material that spray glue isn't usually strong enough for headliners but they supplied me with a tin of liquid glue that was suitable. The most difficult panels to cover, without wrinkling the material, are the two that go in the doors but with a bit of patience this isn't a problem. Hope this helps.

It only develops after driving for awhile but it goes away when I break. Any idea on what this could be? A bearing? Something wrong with my breaks?

Whilst sorting my brake system with new pads I had replaced the front and removed the rear drivers side. I was the distracted by a visitor for a few minutes. The next thing I did, don't ask me why, I got in the car an put my foot on the brake pedal to feel the travel. yep the rear pistons closed right up to the disc. And now I can't get them back in to put in the new pads. I have tried absolutely every thing I can think of and they seem to be solid stuck. Can they come out too far and not go back in?? Is there an easy way to get them back in, Or is it a case of taking the whole damn calliper off, if so how do I do that??

Luckily all the dents are a small diameter, and are extremely shallow. I was wondering what the preferred method of removing the dents was, and if someone could give me some detailed intructions on how to remove them. If this isn't something that my father and I should tackle, does anyone know who in NC I can take the car to? Please feel free to email me privately.

To fix it, I took off the lenses, went into my work's prototyping paint lab, mixed up some translucent orange paint and shot it quickly with a professional paint gun. Very tricky, in that you have to use just the right amount of thinner to make the paint translucent. The wrong proportions will either give you a bad "fish eye" effect, or it won't be clear enough. I'll have to look at my mixture again to give you figures on those proportions though. I tried a few other things, like generic model paint and even markers, but those weren't permanent solutions. So far the orange has lasted through a year of meticulous car washes and even "armor-all-zation" without showing any signs of aging. You can see pictures here: Before: http://www.geocities.com/delorean-12/dmc02.jpg After: http://www.geocities.com/delorean_12_2/dmc6.jpg I can probably do another set if you'd like. Let me know via private e-mail if you're interested and we'll talk details. Same offer goes for the rest of the group.
